Nokia Suite sheds its beta skin, officially sends Ovi Suite to pasture
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Nokia Suite triumphantly dropped its beta training wheels yesterday, with the release of version 3.2.100. The upgrade, which replaces version 3.2.98, brings a "refreshed look and feel" to the Windows app, along with a new "Support view" interface, where users can easily find information about their devices and storage capacities. You'll also find a streamlined sync log, which keeps meticulous notes on all the changes that undergo during a given sync sesh. What you won't find, of course, is the word "Ovi." You can download it now, at the source link below.

Nokia to bear NFC guns in US, create its own mobile wallet?
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Nokia is still champing at the bit when it comes to creating the so-called three horse race, but the Finnish mainstay has another three word secret weapon up its sleeve: NFC. In an interview with Electronista, the company's VP of Location and Commerce, Michael Halbherr, said the manufacturer plans to "equally support" NFC in the US, while remaining "accommodating and open" to various mobile payment schemes like Isis. He mentioned that it was "not clever" to commit to one payment system at this point, implying instead that Nokia may create its own version of the mobile wallet down the line. Although we're not sure which Nokia phone will be first to hit the States, looks like we won't have to ...

Nokia N9 for sale in the USA, will cost you $690
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
The Nokia N9, one of the most controversial devices to ever come out of Finland, is now available in the United States. You can order it for $690 from Expansys, an online retailer we thoroughly recommend for those of you who want to get your hands on the latest handsets coming out in Europe and Asia. Before you do however, realize that it’s going to be the one and only device to run MeeGo, it’s not going to get that much official support since it’s shipped in limited quantities, but on the bright side it supports both AT&T’s and T-Mobile’s 3G networks. Now while we didn’t review the N9, the folks at Engadget and The Verge did and both sites have absolutely fallen in love with it. Myriam Joir...

Nokia CEO hints at possible Windows 8 tablet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows 8
While discussing his intentions to expand Nokia’s presence in the United States, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop recently made comments that suggest his company could have a Windows 8 tablet in the pipeline. “There’s a new tablet opportunity coming,” Elop told Bloomberg in a recent interview. “We see the opportunity. Unquestionably, that will change the dynamics [of the market].” Elop described Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system as a “supercharged” version of its Windows Phone operating system, implying a hint of interest in using the OS on a tablet. The two operating systems share a user interface called “Metro UI.” Nokia recently announced its first two Windows Phone devices, the Lumia 710 and ...

Nokia Lumia 800 coming to France on 16th November also
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
The release date of the Nokia Lumia 800 in UK was never in question, with the date emblazoned all over the ads.
France has not been as lucky, but Monsmartphone has manage to wheedle the date from customer support.
The Phone House was able to confirm the delivery date as the 16th November, the same date as UK, and presumably the other 3 countries involved in the launch party also.
The handset has so far scored well with out readers, and has benefitted from an unprecedented marketing campaign, which will hopefully also translate into strong sales.

Goodbye Nokia 600, we hardly knew ye
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA600
Symbian just scored another blow. The Belle-installed Nokia 600 was announced in late August, destined to be a great music-centric phone for anyone trying to stay on a budget. Sadly, it appears its fate has been sealed before its release, as the company's taken down any pages on its websites that are related to the product. Then, if that weren't enough confirmation, it also broke the news of the handset's demise to a disappointed Facebook fan. We haven't been given a reason for the sudden decision to cease and desist, but we're not discounting the coincidence of this happening so shortly after the Lumia series was revealed.

Lumia 800 to hit the UK on November 16th, Nokia confirms
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
We knew that the Lumia 800 would be making its way to the UK sometime in November, but today, that timeline has become slightly more specific. We've just received confirmation that Nokia's "first real Windows Phone" will indeed be available within the UK on November 16th, just a day before Samsung unleashes its Galaxy Nexus handset to British users. Last month, the company confirmed that the device would be priced at €420, though there's no word yet on what that price tag may look like in sterling. As always, we'll let you know as soon as we hear more.

Nokia bringing free Wi-Fi to London
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Nokia has announced that it is getting into the free Wi-Fi game with a large-scale trial commencing in London.
The phone giant has teamed up with Spectrum Interactive to offer the new service, which brings 26 free Wi-Fi hotspots to the nation's capital.
If the trial is a success then Nokia is hoping to rollout the technology officially in early 2012.
For the moment though, the trial begins today, lasts for two months and has been put in place to assess how consumers interact with the service, and also to see how much demand there is for free Wi-Fi in London.
Back in October, Starbucks announced a similar initiative, offering Wi-Fi up and down the UK.
Speaking about the trial, John Nichols, H...

Last week Nokia held their annual Nokia World event in London where they announced 6 new handsets. The last 2 to be unveiled, the Nokia Lumia 710 and the Nokia Lumia 800, were the ones that the entire mobile industry have been eager to see ever since the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer decreed back in February of this year that they’re going to dump Symbian and switch to Windows Phone. To no one’s surprise, Western European countries are going to be the first to get these two devices, while the United States will have to wait until 2012, though no specific details were given.

Nokia Kinetic Tablet Prototype can be flexed for Input
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsNOKIA
Yesterday Nokia unveiled the new Nokia Lumia Windows Phones at the Nokia World 2011. There is though more going on at this Nokia show. CNET captured the Nokia Kinetic Device prototype on camera. Nokia Kinetic is a tablet prototype that features a flexible screen. You can hold it with two hands and it would scroll through music collections or photo albums when twisted. Bending the Nokia Kinetic inward or outward zooms photos in and out or paused and played music.
As you can see the flexible tablet is a working device, but far from a real product that you can buy. It is definitely an interesting idea and a great demo product. If it really makes our lives easier with tablets in the future is th...

In a brief interview with This Is My Next, Nokia CEO (and mole for Microsoft, clearly) Stephen Elop hinted strongly at the potential for a Nokia-built Windows 8 tablet. While his statement was, strictly speaking, more of a dodge, it’s clear that this is something they’re at least thinking about.
When asked about its role as a consumer electronics brand, Elop explained:

Nokia Exec – Apollo coming Mid-2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: NOKIA
Well some interesting news coming from Engadget today. A Nokia executive, Michael Halbherr, Executive VP for Location and Commerce, told engadget that Apollo, or Windows Phone 8, will be arriving in mid 2012. What is more they are pushing Microsoft to include NFC and “positioning framework” for the new release. This seems like a very quick turnaround and points again to the fact that Nokia had very little input into Mango and instead has played a large role in the development of Apollo.
This does make one ask the question of timing. How will Microsoft release two Tango updates and then Apollo before the second half of the year? Seems a bit unlikely but we will be following this develop...

Nokia announces a white N9 and the first software update for N9 owners
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
Nokia is currently holding their annual Nokia World event in London right now, and while the important announcements were seen yesterday, things like 4 feature phones and 2 smartphones, both the first Nokias to run Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system, today the Finnish handset maker has surprised us by talking about the N9. Currently the N9 comes in black, blue, and pink, but later this year there will be a new choice: white. It may seem insignificant, especially since Nokia isn’t launching the N9 in very many countries, but Frank Zillikens, who heads up the product marketing for Nokia N9, says: “The manufacturing process for beautiful white products is quite complex and we wanted to ...

Nokia fans around the world may be focused on the company’s two new high-end Windows Phone devices unveiled during Nokia World in London on Tuesday, but that didn’t stop Nokia from revealing a handful of Series 40 devices, too.
